Reads:
As with previous editions of Windows, Remote Desktop for Administration is a useful tool. When enabled and authorized through the Firewall, clients can connect to a Full GUI installation using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) over TCP 3389. A Remote Desktop Connection client (mstsc.exe) is included in current operating systems today. Microsoft also provides a Remote Desktop MMC snap-in that allows you to create a list of servers where you can simply double click on the specific server to connect via RDP. / Should read:

448 / Chapter 10, IPv6 Address Syntax
Replace / Replace with:
IPv6 Address Syntax
Whereas IPv4 addresses use dotted-decimal format as already explained earlier in this chapter, IPv6 addresses are subdivided into eight 16-bit blocks. Each 16-bit block is portrayed as a 4-digit hexadecimal number and is separated from other blocks by colons. This addressing scheme is referred to as colon-hexadecimal.
For example, a 128-bit IPv6 address written in binary could appear as follows:
0011111111111110 1111111111111111 0010000111000101 0000000000000000 0000001010101010 0000000011111111 1111111000100001 0011101000111110
The same address written in colon-hexadecimal becomes 3ffe:ffff:21c5:0000:02aa:00ff:fe21:3a3e. You can remove any single set of contiguous leading zeros, converting this address to 3ffe:ffff:21c5::2aa:ff:fe21:3a3e. This process is known as Zero compression. In this notation, note that the block that contained all zeros appears as “::”, which is called double-colon. You can always figure out how many blocks of zeros are contained within a double-colon because all IPv6 addresses consist of eight 16-bit blocks.
492 / Chapter 11, First Four Paragraphs and First Three Commands under Using Windows PowerShell to Install DHCP
Reads:
You can use PowerShell to install a server role or feature such as DHCP on a server running the Server Core version of Windows Server 2012 R2. To install DHCP, use the following PowerShell cmdlet:
Install-WindowsFeature DHCPServerCore
As was the case with Windows Server 2008 R2, you can also use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) tool in Windows Server 2012 R2 to install and configure server roles such as DHCP. Use the following command to install DHCP on a Server Core machine:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:DHCPServerCore
Note that this command is case-sensitive and DHCPServerCore must be typed exactly as indicated.
On a computer running any of the GUI-based editions of Windows Server 2012 R2, use the following command:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:DHCPServer / Should read:

508 / Chapter 11, Configuring DHCP Options for PXE, First Paragraph
Reads:
After you have configured WDS with appropriate images, you will need to ensure that your DHCP server is configured with options 066 and 067. These options enable clients to connect to the WDS server using PXE. To configure the options, perform the following steps: / Should read:
After you have configured WDS with appropriate images, you will need to ensure that your DHCP server is configured with options 066 and 067. These options allows clients to connect to the WDS server using PXE. For the purpose of the 70-410 exam, to deploy images using PXE boot, you will need to configure DHCP options 66 and 67. In real world implementations, this may differ depending on the scenario.
For example, if you plan on using Windows Deployment Services on the same server hosting DHCP, you must tell WDS not to listen on UDP port 67 and also to instruct the DHCP server that this server is also a PXE server. This can be accomplished by checking the two options under the DHCP properties of a WDS Server. For Microsoft DHCP servers, WDS will automatically configure Option 060 PXEClient under Scope Options. In scenarios where WDS and DHCP services are installed on separate servers, you must configure DHCP Options 066 and 067. Option 066 identifies the Boot Server Host Name by IP Address. This is the IP Address of the WDS server. Option 067 identifies the Bootfile name. To configure the options, perform the following steps:
